Notes on Edward Chute and Lydia Gibbon(s) Chute and Thomazine Henden
Chute
The marriage date for Edward and Lydia has also been recorded as 9-19-1608, and placed in "Bethersden, Canterbury, Kent, England". Edward Chute (or Choute) was in his time described as a "right worthy gentleman"; he took a prominent place in Kentish affairs, in 1635-6 was High Sheriff of the county and died in 1640.
After Lydia's death in 1631, Edward remarried - a listing of Kent marriages contains the following entry: "CHUTE, Edward, esq., of Beddersden, co. Kent, 53, and Thomazine Criche, of the city of London, 52, widow of Edmund Criche, citizen and merchant taylor of London, deceased - at St. Bride, London or St. Mary, Islington. 12 Aug 1633." Data provided by Cleve Taylor.
Based on the above, she should have been born in 1581, although an Ancestral File makes her a full generation older, born Thomazine Henden in 1569, christened on 20 Feb 1569, the daughter of Symon Henden and Elizabeth Shorte, and married to Edmund Critch in Nov of 1589. However, the dates (1569, 1589) appear estimated, and may be incorrect in the Ancestral File.
Elizabeth Chute Master's birthdate is also listed as 1614.
